This has even been a spontaneous first reaction of several authors of this book, and a reader could ask just the same question. However, as the circle of researchers from diverse fields discussing the developmental factors and challenges of the two cities expanded, and the communica- tion intensified, the idea of preparing a book combining research results, knowledge and ideas of both teams of researchers became both interesting and feasible. The person initiating the cooperation within a bilateral cooperation between Depart- ment of Geography in Ljubljana and Geographical Faculty in Belgrade, titled “The role of strategic planning, EU comparative data and GIS for spatial development of Central European cities: the case of Ljubljana and Belgrade”, has been Nataša Pichler-Milanović. This cooperation has been financed on the basis of an Agreement for cooperation in science and technology between the Republic of Slovenia and Republic of Serbia in the years 2008 and 2009. The finances from this source have been limited only to support the travel and accommodation during the bilateral visits, but they offered the necessary conditions for growth of the idea of the book. Although the formal as well as majority of organizational burdens of the cooperation, preparation of the book and further fund rising have been carried out by Dejan Djordjević and myself, the credits to prepare the grounds for the cooperation go to Nataša, functioning as a symbolic bridge between her both home cities. This book is a document of time in the life of the two cities, and contains a transection of the recent research of Ljubljana and Belgrade at the two institutions involved. The editors and the authors are well aware that the book cannot cover all the important aspects of the spatial planning and development of Ljubljana and Belgrade. However, the situation and challenges of development of the cities are addressed in a complex geographical and spatial planning manner, from the aspects of physical-geographical factors of de- velopment, positions of the studied cities in the system of settlements and centres, de- mographic characteristics and processes, daily urban systems, social urban geography, economic geography, transport infrastructure, spatial-functional transformations of the metropolitan areas, environmental situation, strategic planning, and geoinformatic sup- port to planning and development. The chapters are in principle prepared in parallels, one for Ljubljana, and the next for Belgrade, addressing similar topics. Such a complex and systematic approach gives the book a monographic character, and will hopefully get appropriate place among main references on spatial development of Ljubljana and Belgrade in the beginning of 21st century. Thanks to all the authors for all their highly valued contributions to the overall contents

Основна претпоставка заснивала се на очекивањима да ће се установити непосредна повезаност гимнастичког и соколског система вежбања са спортом који се рађао. У истраживању је примењен историјски метод. Резултати у раду указују на значајну улогу грађанских гимнастичких друштава – соколских („Соко“) и витешких („Душан Силни“) у појави, полуларизацији и развоју модерног спорта крајем 19. и почетком 20. века у Србији. Сва ова друштва, без обзира на име, у намери да одрже своје и привуку ново чланство, предвиђала су својим уредбама и статутима, поред гимнастике која је била окосница програма телесног вежбања, прихватање и увођење других спортских активности и оснивање клубова. Новооснована „гимнастичка“ – „спортска одељења“ у борењу, стрељаштву, клизању, јахању, пливању, веслању, велосипеду, лоптању, развијала су се и прерастала у спортске клубове. Њиховим издвајањем из матичних гимнастичких друштава омогућен је бржи развој појединачних спортских грана, које се сматрају првим модерним спортовима у Србији.

Explicit paleontolo - gical findings of specialized analytists with determinations of macro- and mi - crofauna and flora are presented both from Neogene formations and the older basinal floor. In addition to conventional petrological descriptions of rocks, microscopic determinations of intrusive and extrusive magmatites were also cited.

  • Activities in Belgrade
    Activities in Belgrade Sights to see 1. Belgrade Fortress (Kalemegdan Park) The number one must-see location in the city. Some 115 battles have been fought over impressive Kalemegdan. Over the centuries, the citadel has been destroyed more than 40 times. The building of the fortification began in Celtic times, which the Romans extended onto the flood plains during their settlement of 'Singidunum', Belgrade's Roman name. Much of what stands today is the product of 18th-century Austro-Hungarian and TurKish reconstructions. The fort's bloody history, discernible despite today's plethora of jolly cafes and funfairs, only maKes Kalemegdan all the more fascinating. Entering from Knez Mihailova, go through the 18th- century Karadjordje Gate to reach the Upper Town (Gornji grad) of the fortress. From the Stambol Gate (1750), you will reach the Military Museum and the 27.5 metre high ClocK Tower. Further along, you will see a small bricK octagon; this is the 1784 Ali Pasha's Turbeh (tomb), one of Belgrade's few well- preserved Islamic monuments. The Roman Well is nearby, a mysterious 60m deep hole (more a cistern than a well) of dubious origin and shrouded in horrifying legends; apparently the well even managed to creep out a visiting Alfred HitchcocK! Looming beside it is the Victor Monument, a symbol of Belgrade erected in 1928 to commemorate Serbia’s victories over the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires during the BalKan Wars and WWI. This 14 metre high monument is the city’s most recognisable landmarK and famous Belgrade attraction. The plateau around the monument is always crowded with tourists and Belgrade natives, partly because of the breath-taKing view over the confluence of the two rivers that flow through Belgrade, and the beauty of this landmarK as part of the historic Belgrade Fortress.

    UNDERGROUND MINING ENGINEERING 34 (2019) 59-76 UDK 62 UNIVERSITY OF BELGRADE - FACULTY OF MINING AND GEOLOGY ISSN 03542904 Original scientific paper 2D GEOELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY TOMOGRAPHY APPLICATION AT THE FORMER CITY WASTE DUMP “ADA HUJA” – ECO - GEOLOGICAL PROBLEM Branislav Sretenović1, Filip Arnaut1, Ivana Vasiljević1, Vesna Cvetkov1 Received: April 18, 2019 Accepted: June 3, 2019 Abstract: Rapid yearly technology development has enabled the possibility of renewing already acquisitioned data using new and improved software capabilities. The potential to gather 3D inversion results from 2D acquisitioned data is one of many new software options that were not available twenty years ago. Data obtained by ground penetrating radar (GPR) using 500 MHz and 300 MHz frequencies were used to confirm information attained by electrical resistivity tomography, hence the GPR survey was only conducted on a small portion of one profile line. Suitable location of the former communal waste site “Ada Huja” and the degree of possible environmental pollution are one of many reasons why it was crucial to reinterpret the 2D inversion data. Two decades after the initial scanning the data was used to solve the eco-geological problem which is a side effect of the decade long disposal and non-aiding of the communal waste dump. Keywords: 2D inversion; geoelectrical method; Wenner array; ecology; Ada Huja 1 INTRODUCTION The location of the former city waste dump “Ada Huja” was labeled as IBA (Important Bird Area), where refuge was found by some endangered species of birds like the black- headed seagull, big and small cormorant and the white-tailed eagle. Ada Huja, which is located only 4 km from the city center of Belgrade, was under the supervision from the former Federal executive council of SFRY and declared a communal waste dump in the year 1960.
